  • Workout & Paleo Update

    Outside workout on a cold morning — you know it’s not as bad as it seems. It really does feel pretty good within a few minutes of starting the workout and by the time you are done, you have those chills that you get when you are all sweaty but it’s freezing outside. Oh the…

  • What Is Organic? USDA Trying to Define It

  • The Grass is not Greener — trust me!

    Portia de Rossi Talks Dropping Down to 82 Pounds | PopEater.com. I posted this article because I remember the time when Ally Mcbeal was on the air and all the magazines and media focus on these ladies and the publicity they got for their looks. It really influenced a lot of women out there at…

  • Post Halloween Workout

    No lying — boot camp is not as fun when its friggin freezing outside. I find that I have to remind myself that once I get going — I will be feeling the heat and the cold won’t bother me. It’s just the time between that that’s rough. Also the cold generally means less people…
